DATE: February 25, 2020 / 11:00am

INCIDENT: PC 261(a)(2) – Rape
PC 518(b) - Extortion

LOCATION: Heritage Park

SUSPECT: Glenn Martin Cranford, Jr., 21-years-old, resident of Rancho Cucamonga

Summary:
On February 10, 2020, deputies took a report from a victim who reported that on February 3, 2020, she received a message on her Snapchat from someone using the handle @cam_ford20. The suspect requested nude photos of the victim in exchange for money. The victim did not know the suspect but sent him some photos and a video. The suspect refused to pay the victim and threatened to distribute her photos to people she knew via social media if she did not send additional photos or meet up with him. The victim refused to participate in either.

On February 8, 2020, the victim received another message from someone using the handle @martycranford. Cranford stated in his message he knew who the suspect was and could get the photos and videos and delete them; however, he would not do it for free. Cranford requested the victim meet up with him and the victim agreed.

On February 9, 2020, the victim drove to Sunflower St. in Rancho Cucamonga from Long Beach to meet Cranford. Cranford approached the victim’s vehicle and entered on the front passenger side. He instructed her to drive to Heritage Park and to park the vehicle in a dirt lot. The victim agreed believing Cranford would help her get the photos and video deleted. While at the park, Cranford raped the victim then demanded she drive him back to Sunflower St. Cranford later told the victim he spoke with @cam_ford20 and her video and photos were deleted.

Through investigation, deputies discovered Cranford and @cam_ford20 were the same person and was identified as Glenn Martin Cranford. Detectives believe Cranford extorted other victims via Snapchat using additional handles such as @jacobgibs2019 and @jenkins9131.

Cranford was arrested and booked at the Central Detention Center in San Bernardino and is being held on $250,000 bail.
